ABSTRACT:In this paper we present a complete summary of the data obtained with the far-infrared polarimeter, Stokes, in flights of the Kuiper Airborne Observatory. We have observed 12 Galactic clouds and have made over 1100 individual measurements at 100 μm and 60 μm. The median P for all of the 60 μm and 100 μm measurements is 3.6% and 2.6% respectively. We also present flux maps obtained simultaneously with the polarimetry.
